Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill prohibiting minors under 14 from having social-media accounts, following similar efforts in other states that have been challenged in court.
The Florida law also requires parental permission for 14- and 15-year-olds to have accounts at companies such as Meta Platforms Inc. and TikTok Inc. While older kids face no restrictions, the legislation forces all social-media users in the state to submit identification documents to verify their ages.
